Courage is the most important of all
the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other
virtues consistently. You can't be consistently kind or fair or
humane or generous, not without courage, because if you don't have
it, sooner or later you will stop and say, "The threat is too much.
The difficulty is ...too high. The challenge is too great. ~ Maya

September 2010:
Update: Eanes ISD loses lawsuit intended to allow
mandated grade inflation; teacher applauds the decision:
"Teachers
need to be allowed to give the grades (students) they
earn and not having to worry about the district
mandating grade inflation,” she said. “Even though the
district has changed its policy, it still has a de facto
mandate that gives students a 50, threatening teachers
not doing so. Instead of devoting resources to attorneys
to fight the law, they should have devoted the resources
to students they serve.”
What do the districts who
are party to the lawsuit have in common?
